Costume Jewelry When we think of jewelry, we think of all those beautiful necklaces, bracelets, rings and ear rings. That something special that you put on to compliment your outfit, may it be "funkey chunkey" to go with that outfit you want to make a statement in or that delicate piece that add just that little bit sophystication to that perfect black number. Through history, woman and men alike adorned their bodies with gold, silver and other precious and semi precious metals and stones. It was not because they are vain, but it was a way of displaying their status in their society. The crown of a king and queen was always decorated with diamonds and gemstones and was mostly made from a prescious metal. |
